Chinese silk?

Recommended Posts

My wife is going to Beijing in november. We know there's a very nice silk factory where we have been before.

See wants to visit that place again and is willing to buy some cloth for me there,

Now I am wandering what pattern see would have to look for, for authentic early 18 century silk that I can make the inner side of a luxurius frock coat or outerside of a waistcoat from?? Or off course other silk clothings..??

Sorry this is late posted. Would like to see if you found anything.

Alas, a lot of the Chinese Silks I see today, rarely look like what was used in the 18th c. Some solids would work.
